Chapter 161: Ambush and Defeat
"General Yan! Please hurry up! Seeing that Ling Yan frowned tightly and didn't say a word, the scout hurriedly urged. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ling Yan hurriedly said to the scouts: "You go back quickly, if you find our soldiers, let them retreat quickly, and I will go to meet them later!" ”
"Yes!" The scout shouted miserably and turned to hurry.
Lu Gong and Zhang Yi hurriedly said to Ling Yan: "General Yan! Let's hurry up! ”
Ling Yan's heart was in a mess, and when he heard the suggestion of Lu Gong and the others, he hurriedly nodded: "Okay!" Order the army to speed up the march! ”
Who knows, at this time, the butcher's slightly trembling voice reached Ling Yan's ears: "You guys are really ...... No match for General Lee......"
Ling Yan was already annoyed enough in his heart, but now that he heard the butcher say such a frustrating word, Ling Yan was suddenly furious, turned his head and pointed at the butcher: "If you dare to say this kind of disturbing the morale of the army again, I will kill you!" ”
The butcher was so frightened that he didn't dare say a word.
After Duke Lu gave the order to speed up the march, almost all the soldiers trotted up, but Ling Yan still felt that it was too slow.
At this time, Ling Yan was anxious, he was naturally worried about the safety of his soldiers, and he was especially worried, it was the national teacher Zuo Ci. Wenpin and Youheng both have internal qi, and there should be no problem with self-preservation; Zhang Min and Yang Feng are at least military generals, and their martial arts are not very bad, if they break through to save their lives, they should be able to do it; Only Zuo Ci, who has no internal qi and does not understand martial arts, it would be good if he could be protected by other generals, but in addition to the good martial arts of Wenpin, others can only care about self-protection at most, how can they have the energy to protect Zuo Ci? If there is really something wrong with Zuo Ci, then ...... So how to explain to the lord of Langya?
Ling Yan was extremely remorseful, he remembered that when he divided his troops and marched, if he sent Wen Ping, Zhang Min and other generals to sneak attack the ambush soldiers, he would lead the main army to continue to move forward! Even if it is distributed like the original, as long as Zuo Ci is allowed to go with him to destroy the ambush soldiers, it will be fine!
The more Ling Yan thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he couldn't wait to get there immediately. However, the speed of the army is limited after all, unlike a single horse, which can be fastened. Of course, Ling Yan could let himself take the first step and break away from the army, but Ling Yan didn't want to do this, and he didn't dare to do it, not to mention anything else, just if the army here was also attacked by ambushes who appeared out of nowhere, then Ling Yan really didn't know which side to save first.
After marching for more than an hour, Ling Yan saw that occasionally one or two soldiers were crying and shouting and fleeing towards this side, and there was even one soldier with only one arm left.
Seeing this, Ling Yan was even more anxious, grabbed a soldier and asked about the battle, the soldier looked terrified, pointed behind him in a panic, and ran away in a hurry.
Ling Yan didn't understand what the soldier's gesture meant, but guessed that he was not too far away from the place where the accident happened, so he hurriedly ordered the army to move quickly.
By the time Ling Yan saw his brigade of soldiers and horses, another half hour had passed.
When he saw a large number of soldiers and horses from a distance, Ling Yan recognized that they were his soldiers and horses, so he ignored the team behind him, quickly whipped his horse, and ran towards those people.
When Ling Yan came to the army that had survived the catastrophe, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and his heart was full of sadness - most of the soldiers were covered in wounds, and blood stained their clothes; There are even some people who either have no arms or legs, and their bodies are incomplete. And all the soldiers sat listlessly on the side of the road with their heads bowed. At the same time, whimpering, sobbing, sighing, all mixed together and reached Ling Yan's ears.
Just as Ling Yan was standing still, several soldiers saw Ling Yan and quickly knelt down: "General Yan! ”
When all the soldiers heard this shout, they all looked towards Ling Yan's side. All those who could still move fell to their knees; Those who couldn't move responded weakly to Ling Yan.
Ling Yan's nose was sore, and he almost cried. He felt very sorry for these soldiers who were working hard for him, and if he had the ability and time, he would definitely treat those wounded soldiers one by one. But at this time, Ling Yan couldn't help these wounded soldiers: not to mention that time was pressing, there was no time for treatment at all, even if he really had time, he didn't have the ability to heal all these soldiers - his healing internal qi was not omnipotent, or that Ling Yan was only a drop in the bucket for the part of the healing internal qi that he could control in his body, so even if only one wounded soldier needed to be treated, although Ling Yan would definitely not refuse, but after the wounded soldier was healed, Ling Yan would also weaken his body due to the consumption of internal qi. One is still like this, if he wants to heal the hundreds of soldiers in front of him, he must make Ling Yan exhausted and die.
Therefore, Ling Yan didn't know what to say to these soldiers, so he could only quickly let them sit down and rest, said a few words comfortingly, and then asked anxiously at a soldier who didn't seem to be injured, "What about General Wenpin?" ”
The soldier pointed to the front blankly, and then said, "General Yan, I'll go and find General Wen." ”
"Ah, no need," Ling Yan hurriedly said, "I'd better go over and find them, you go and rest...... By the way, take care of the wounded soldiers. ”
The soldier agreed, and sat down on the ground again.
Ling Yan hurriedly urged the horse forward, but at this time he was a little relieved: when he asked the soldier Wen Ping and other generals, the soldier did not show any more sadness, but just stretched out his finger. It seems that Wen Ping and the others should have no surprises, otherwise the soldier would definitely tell him.
Ling Yan rushed forward, and along the way, both sides were full of wounded soldiers sitting or lying down to rest. Ling Yan couldn't bear to witness this tragic situation, and quickly moved his gaze to the front.
After walking for a while, Ling Yan saw Wen Ping.
Wen Ping, who had taken off his armor, was sitting on a rock, his armor piled on the ground next to him, and his armor was covered with blood. Wen Ping lowered his head and tied strips of cloth to his legs with his hands.
"General Wen......" Ling Yan shouted sadly.
Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked up at Ling Yan, his face was happy and sad, he didn't care about the half-tied strip of cloth, so he ran to Ling Yan in a few steps, knelt down and hugged his fists, and his voice was full of infinite sadness: "General Yan...... Sorry...... I ......"
Ling Yan hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and went to help Wen Ping with both hands: "General Wen, get up!" It's okay! This defeat has nothing to do with you! It was all because of my mistakes! ”
Wen Ping didn't stand up: "General Yan! The last general was reckless and ineffective in battle, so that he was ambushed by the enemy and was defeated by the enemy, and his sin is unforgivable! The general was also asked to order the punishment of the last general...... Willing to pay for sin with death! ”
Ling Yan hurriedly said, "General Wen must not say that!" Hurry up, please ...... This march to the siege was my order. Without carefully analyzing the situation, I gave orders so indiscriminately that the general was surrounded by the enemy and almost lost his life...... These are all caused by my light enemy, and they have nothing to do with General Wen! ”
Wen Ping stood up, his tone full of grief and guilt: "The general's order is indeed not wrong, but it is only that he is eager to make meritorious service, does not listen to the advice of Zhengping, and despises the enemy army, which is the disaster of today...... The last will know that he is guilty of death! ”
Ling Yan didn't answer immediately, but looked at Wen Ping a little stunned, thinking in his mind: Wen Ping's sentence "despising the enemy army" really hit the key to the defeat. However, Ling Yan also knew that it was not Wen Ping who "despised the enemy army", but himself-he never paid attention to Li Damu as an opponent.
Seeing that Ling Yan didn't speak, Wen Ping said again: "General Yan, the last general's mistake is a heavy responsibility, no matter how General Yan deals with it, he is willing to be punished!" ”
Ling Yan sighed and said, "General Wen, I will never condemn you. If I do condemn you, I will be punished with you. ”
